The Scroll newspaper has been in print since 1905, when BYU-Idaho was known as the Ricks Academy, a locally run school with a newly-developed high school program. At the time this newspaper was known as the “Student Rays,” and was printed monthly. In 1933 the name of the newspaper changed to “The Purple Flash.” In 1937 the name was changed again to “Viking Flashes,” and in 1938 the name finally changed to “The Viking Scroll.” The paper continued under this name until 1972, when it changed to “The Scroll.” The Scroll is still in print at BYU-Idaho as its official newspaper.

We also ask that you discon­tinue
the printing and distribu­tion
of programs dealing with
missionary departures together
with newspaper notices of de­parting
missionaries.
We request that you counsel
families against holding recep­tions
for departing missionar­ies.
The . bishop or branch presi­dents
should invite the depart­ing
missionary to speak in one
of the sacrament meetings, not
as part of a farewell program,
but as a sacrament meeting
speaker concerning whom no
special notice or publicity is
given.
The bishop or branch presi­dent
should accord the same
privilege of speaking in sacra­ment
meeting to young men
who are going into military ser­vice,
